Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
It is a famous tourism destination in Hunan province which was officially recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1992.

The minority culture and folklores are represented in nearby villages and towns, inhabited by Tujia, Bai, Miao and Hui people, making worthwhile side trips.

Great day with Wendy, Avatar Mountains and Glass Bridge
Jamie S,Apr 17, 2026

5.00We had a great day at the national forest with Wendy. The park is huge and very difficult to navigate as a Westerner. It was helpful to have Wendy quickly get us from spot to spot. The only challenging part of the trip is that there is quite a long wait time for the elevator and buses. It sounds like there is a VIP pass that can be purchased a day in advance so it might be worth investigating that if you’re going and open to the extra cost. It will save a lot of time.
Amazing tour if you short on time

5.00Jessie is a excellent tpur guide. She went above and beyond to cater to us. Especially as I had a cold and back issues. She kept tracking if the fog was too much and always found ways to avoid the crowds. It was like having a friend show us around. Her English was really good and she was great at describing everything. We were short on time so this tour was perfect, but if you have more days, I dont think you need a tour guide and you can explore yourself. I would also recommend doing the VIP ticket to avoid lines.
Lucky How the best tour guide

5.00You will have a friend as a guide (in our case we had Lucky How as a guide) and you can ask him everything. The tour is just right to see everything you planed. You can have lunch in the park and the guide will wait you for one hour. It was an amazing experience and Lucky give us a lot of information. He was patient and took us a lot of pictures so we had also a photographer with us 😀
Amazing experience

5.00We had an amazing experience booking a private tour through Viator in Zhangjiajie, and our guide Coco truly made it unforgettable! We decided to book a tour to visit the Avatar Mountains and the Glass Bridge, and from the start, everything was seamless. Coco picked us up from our hotel right at 8 a.m. in a very clean and comfortable vehicle. She immediately walked us through the plan for the day, which made us feel organized and stress-free... Coco was incredibly knowledgeable about every site we visited. She explained everything in detail and made sure we understood the history and significance of each. She was also extremely friendly and helpful throughout the entire day... What really stood out was how personalized the experience felt... Coco moved at our pace and adjusted the schedule to fit what we wanted to do. At the Glass Bridge, I decided I wanted to bungee jump, and although the wait was longer than expected, she helped coordinate everything so it worked out perfectly... She even took amazing photos and videos of me from the top of the bridge!!! She also came prepared with water for us and gave great lunch recommendations. Navigating Zhangjiajie’s massive parks would have been overwhelming on our own, but Coco made everything feel easy and effortless. We were able to see and do so much more because of her expertise. It was also great to see how kind she was to other visitors who seemed lost, she went out of her way to help them too. Overall, this was an incredible experience. The price was very reasonable for the level of service we received. I highly recommend booking a private tour through Viator, and if you can, ask for Coco! Thank you for making our trip so special!

5.00Wendy our guide was brilliant. The 9 hour day went so fast. Wendy guided us so quickly through the busy crowds so that we could experience the day at our pace and interested. Her knowledge of the area so was so interesting and was great to talk to. Her English was out standing and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. We would fully recommend this tour.
Great trip

5.00We had fantastic time with Lillian, our tour guide. She contacted me day before via WhatsApp and confirmed the pick up time and location. Her English was great, so no issues with communication. The park is very big and can be confusing at the beginning but after one day exploring with tour guide, I was OK to do it by myself next day. All tickets are valid for 4 days. Lillian gave me the QR code for tickets and explain how to use it. Thank you Lillian.
Avatar Mountains and Glass Bridge

5.00Our trip to the Avatar Mountains and the Glass Bridge was amazing. Our guide, Zoe, was tireless and made sure we had an unforgettable day despite the rain. Her English is top-notch and she shared deep insights about the sites. We were traveling with our 6-year-old son, and Zoe was incredibly attentive and caring toward him—he absolutely loved her! What really stood out was her brilliant crowd and queue management, saving us so much time, and her knowledge of the best photo spots to capture great family memories. Highly recommended for families visiting Zhangjiajie! Zoe is the best...
The highlight of our trip :)

5.00Absolutely excellent experience! Fiona made the day so convenient. It was nice to be picked up directly from the hotel on time and have all tickets, souvenir bargaining, and buses coordinated. They were so accommodating in starting early at 7 am for me so that I could avoid crowds and enjoy the park peacefully for the first 3 hours or so. Fiona was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Very easy to spend the day with. Our driver was excellent as well. Mr. Gong was consistently on time and efficient. I highly recommend!
